Question
A 2-month-old male infant initially experienced pain in the throat, his voice became hoarse when speaking, and he had a persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat the crying caused by tonsillitis in young children to achieve good results?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis usually involves administering anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed by a doctor. If the condition is more severe, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be considered. If the child has throat pain, a moderate amount of painkillers can be given. For fever, a moderate dose of fever-reducing medication can be used, but if the fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding catching a cold.
